Congratulations to Ines Jimenez-Palomar in successfully defending her PhD thesis. Ines worked on the mechanical properties of bone at small length scales with her thesis titled ‘Mechanical Properties of Bone at the Sub-lamellar Level’. Ines is previous winner of the RMS Begineer’s Competition and an MRS ‘Science as Art’ finalist. Preliminary work from Ines’ thesis can be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2011.08.018

Ines was supervised by Dr Asa Barber.
